Quals courses are PhD-track masters courses listed in teal on the CSE teaching schedule. Many of these will be appropriate for BS/MS students, but the workload will likely be significantly greater than your 400-level CSE courses. It’s common for PhD-track grad students to take one or two quals courses each quarter; even if you’re a super strong and motivated student who successfully took three upper-division CSE courses (against your advisers’ recommendation), you should not plan for more than one, maybe two, quals courses each quarter. We’ll talk to each of you individually about specific courses and schedules.
